Residents of an exclusive Miami Beach neighborhood say one of the multimillion dollar homes is being kept in unlivable conditions and is being used as a dog shelter. The house on Hibiscus Island has a history of violations including trash all over the property and bee hives in the trees. A code enforcement officer called conditions not livable, even for the animals. NBC 6's Steve Litz reports. (Published Wednesday, March 27, 2013)

The boy’s father took the dog out of the cage, shot it multiple times and removed the severed finger from the dog's stomach, the report said.

"You don't know what you will do for your child,” the father, Luis Brignoni, 41, told the newspaper. "You don't know where you get the strength from."

A chaotic scene in Laguna Beach, California was captured on video Saturday when a dog belonging to the daughter of former astronaut Mark Kelly locked its jaws on a baby sea lion. A man who shot video of the episode and who only wanted to be identified by his first name, Nathan, spoke about what happened. Despite pleas from Kelly's daughter, the dog would not let go of the beached animal. It finally released the sea lion when Kelly came over, shook the dog and called it by name, Nathan said. Kelly and his wife, former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, could not be reached for comment. (Published Tuesday, March 26, 2013)

The boy was airlifted to All Children's Hospital and later transferred to Tampa General Hospital.

But the doctors decided not to reattach the finger due to the damaged nerves, the father told the Herald.

A preliminary investigation by the Manatee Sheriff’s Office supports the father’s accounts of the events and said it appears to be an accident.

Manatee County Animal Services took possession of the remains of the dog, authorities said.
